Eczema, bullying, ostracism, autism, OCD, allergies, unusual fears, etc.
Also anyone who says childhood is a completely carefree time with no worries is either forgetful or was heavily pampered as a child, or perhaps were really unfortunate as an adult and really fortunate as a chlid.
That said, childhood is a RELATIVELY easy time, since kids are still preparing for the world. However, saying "It's easy being a kid" is like a bodybuilder saying "It's easy lifting 20 pound weights" while lifting 100lb weights and wishing he/she was a gym newbie with the physique of a string bean again. It's easy for you now since you have mastered the skills, but for the rookies it isn't. That's why you have to shelter children, because they're not ready to handle the complexities of the adolescent and adult world.
Did you have a carefree childhood?
